Tempus Fugit: The clocks of Dublin pubs

Tempus Fugit: The clocks of Dublin pubs

It’s rare that you stop and look up in a city with such narrow streets. When you do, you’ll notice that a surprising number of pubs in the city have clocks outside them. Some are old, some are not so old. We’re not yet sure why, but we think it’s important to catalogue these curiosities for posterity.

We don’t have much information on the origins of the clocks, but here’s a few photos. We’ll add to this list as we find more and get better photos
